Instructions:

This Control Chart template creates an X-bar Chart and R Chart with
control limits calculated from values contained in the data table. All
samples are assumed to be the same size.
- Enter the label and the sample size for the quality characteristic that
you are monitoring.
- Choose a k-value (typically 3) for setting the control limits.
- Replace the X-bar and Range values in the Data Table with your own
data set (use Paste Special - Values).
- You can delete unused rows in the data table.
- If you need to insert additional rows in the data table, insert rows
above the gray line below the table so that series in the chart expand
accordingly. Copy the formulas for CL, UCL, and LCL to fill in the blank
spaces.
- The labels for CL, UCL, and LCL within the chart are created by
selecting the last Data Point and formatting it so that the Data Labels
include both the Series name and the Value.
